What applies in Uster

The Swiss Federal Office of Energy puts the solar electricity potential of the suitable roof surfaces in Uster at 154.86 GWh a year. July accounts for 21.98 GWh of that, December for 3.43 GWh, roughly 6.4 times as much in summer. An array's annual yield is therefore decided in the summer half of the year, which is exactly when soiled modules cost the most.
